Mount Eden Vineyards Santa Cruz Mountains Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
- Low stock - 8 items left
This utterly unique California Cabernet Sauvignon - sourced from old vine plantings propagated from 19th century Chateau Margaux cuttings - is very expressive on the nose with scents of brown spice, plum, cherry, and of course, black currant. Relatively restrained tannins on the palate with flavors of currant, sage, and mint. This wine is powerful yet with beautiful restraint.
Earthy nose with notes of spicy oak and black fruits. Very firm tannic structure, fresh and elegant - Michelle Cherutti-Kowal MW & James Doidge MW & Stefan Neumann MS, Decanter
94/100 - Mushroomy aromas of stewed shiitake and dark mahogany meet with crisp fruit on the nose of this complex bottling. Very dry tannins frame the sip in a serious veil, as flavors of sandalwood, graphite and dried dark fruit converge. This wine will last a long time. - Matt Kettmann, Wine Enthusiast
In 2018, although technically a drought year, the harvest started in late September and ran until mid-October. Cool temperatures prevailed, allowing for a relaxed pace. All fermentations were natural, with no additions. After two years in barrel, it was bottled unfined and unfiltered.
Distinctive aromas of blackberry, black pepper, cardamom, sage and earth.
The flavours are rich and balanced, with impressive depth.
Mount Eden is one of only two estate-bottled Cabernets in its area - the other being Ridge's Monte Bello.
Drink up to 20 years after release.
Match with grilled or barbecued red meats.
